chevylovinfordtech Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 i went and looked at chemical guys..... but im helping a friend that wants to get deeper into detailing and that's who he chose. I don't meddle or try to sway people to different things when they have made up their mind with that being said i noticed something...they have quadruple the amount of products making it almost confusing to achieve the same results as adams does with just a few. Even though they do get a great shine i feel like the simplicity of the steps adams has is what edges them out in my mind and my last thought, i went to their wax section and found an 8oz tin of wax priced at $2500!!!! holy expensive! but i would like to see patriot up against this stuff...i bet it would be right up there with it for a fraction of the cost! ok im about done lol you can flame me now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chops1sc Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Yeah those guys are a joke. I'm guilty of buying from them in the beginning, but the only thing I use of theirs now is one of their thousands of soaps lol.

07stanggt Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Well heres a pic of my factory painted (except for body kit and hood) Mustang almost 10 years old now at a show in the Northeast last summer, and here's the results from a $99.00 can of Patriot wax. Looks like someone dripped syrup all over my car !! I also added a couple of pics of reflections from customers cars I have used Patriot on as well. Yes those are reflections, no smoking mirrors used here !! Amazing depth and clarity, and if the pic was outdoors you can see all of the beautiful metallic in the paint as well. I'll save the $2,401.00 and spend it on a trip to the Bahamas. Your choice. James__ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James__ Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I have a friend who has been using chemical guys since last fall and he jumped feet first in, the same way I did and bought a ton of products. We washed our trucks together for some photos and he didn't have his supplies so I told him to use my Adam's supplies and he was still blown away even coming from Chemical guys. Now he is making the switch over to Adam's as he runs out of his current stock lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripesace Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Let's not turn this into a bash fest. I think googling CG will net you lots of opinions to form your own. GerryC and Masonr97 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan@Adams Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Please keep this civil and do not bash competitors - we do not believe in that here - or this thread will be locked and deleted like the one from last week.

chevylovinfordtech Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 Oh I'm not bashing them at all, but I will say I've noticed neither you or CG say that you're the best in the business, it's a respect thing and I like that about both companies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sahls01gmc Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I've often compared their products to Adam's. I've seen some good things that they offer. Price point for most things is on our with Adam's. One of their advantages is they offer lines of products that Adam's does not. Sometimes they also have sales on "equipment" that is cheaper than anywhere else. However, Adam's products are beyond easier to use, therefor more appealing to me. If I use their products, I evaluate my overall experience with it. Everything from customer service to product selection to ease of use is evaluated. Most of the time, I am overall satisfied. But I will say where they lack severely is customer service. I never had a bad experience, but they are not near as in touch with their customers as Adam's is. Bottom line, competition is a good thing. You don't want to be the only fish in the pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
